Wake
Wake is originally a french graphic novel before coming to America. At first glance you wouldn’t recognize that this wasn’t an American comic, but in comparison it’s not hard to notice that it’s more detailed and at times more graphic. In the original version of Wake the protagonist had a white stripe across her bare chest. When it was brought across the Atlantic it was changed to have a black stripe, censoring her chest. The story itself was very captivating, having an amazonian woman take on an entire fleet of Aliens. The saddest part for me was when the death of the Tiger, Houyo. Having his face get blasted off by the intense heat of the Aliens suit is another example of how much more graphic European novels are, and are allowed to be.
